MarcovIs there a .zip download for fp?I don't want to run the .exe installer in win 10.The old dos ide is too awkward.(I have it from an older version)Lazarus is too much.I have the dev-pas ide, I only need to extract the fp binaries somewhere and use dev-pas.I see a gcc.exe in the older version, but I believe gcc doesn't entirely run fp.

No.

I see a gcc.exe in the older version, but I believe gcc doesn't entirely run fp.

FPC doesn't, but windres, the windows resource compiler needs something. In versions >=2.4.0, some kinds of resources are generated by FPC/Lazarus itself, so it is used less. Some work is being done to eliminate it entirely.

I get about 10 seconds with -gen gcc -Wc -O3I get about the same with srvaldez's c code compiling directly with gcc (obviously, it's the same thing)I get about 34 seconds with my freepascal compiler (selecting BEST speed in the ide which is O3 in the compile log)

But my freepascal is old(I copied it from an old machine)C:\Dev-Pas\Bin>fpc -versionFree Pascal Compiler version 1.0.6 [2002/04/23] for i386Copyright (c) 1993-2002 by Florian KlaempflMarcov says there is no zip file for the latest fp, so that has stopped me.I cannot run the risk of using a .exe installer on win 10. (Does it write to the registry?, does it put files all over windows?)I know it is free, but any half decent compiler should have the option of a .zip.
